They both swear they met by chance He liked the band, she liked to dance They were in love at their first glance Mamihlapinatapei
All that summer, no matter what they did You could always see them with her hand in his They almost said it once, but God forbid Mamihlapinatapei
Chorus Funny how the patterns of our well-laid plans Tangle our way Scared that we'd unravel if we said the words We never say Mamihlapinatapei
We can't say what's in our hearts Our minds keep saying "Is this smart?" But our eyes ask "Can't we start?" Mamihlapinatapei
Chorus
They were married yesterday Two lovers danced the night away Words could never touch what their eyes convey No, words can't touch what their eyes say Mamihlapinatapei....Mamihlapinatapei.....Mamihlapinatapei
